Ready for race day, Melania Trump was seen cheering on the sidelines alongside her husband, President Donald Trump, at the Freedom 250 Grand Prix held in Washington, D.C., on Sunday.

The first lady wore a simple, sleek ensemble comprising a crisp white button-up with blue and white lining, which peeked out from her neatly folded cuffs. The collared top was tucked into high-waisted black trousers with wide legs and front pleats.

She matched her belted trousers with black pointed-toe pumps with high-shine leather uppers. This kind of silhouette is familiar for the first lady, who tends to favor formal ensembles with crisp lines and sleek tailoring.
